I similarly think about how all of the time that I "frivolously wasted" dicking around on the internet instead of doing my homework was actually a great investment. if I could go back in time I'd do it even more, with less guilt https://t.co/VmHII80LTj
I rewatched The Big Short last night. I know it's dramatized, but it's really sobering to contemplate how people will think you're insane (literally – they'll think you're mentally unsound) for doing what you think is right, based on your rigorous assessment of reality https://t.co/ZHFhCW1kOg

The most significant thing about 2010 for me was actually a Facebook group I created called \(n_n)/. Sort of an early instantiation of “Visa assembling a group of friendly nerds”. We had our own cult gesture and everything. 😂 learnt a lot about community management https://t.co/qprxOcmeR2
@visakanv I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie so many times as Big Short. It’s *so* well done. (One major reason it speaks to me is that I feel like I’m riding the line between ranting like a crazy person about cryptocurrency and devoting an appropriate amount of attention to fraud.)
@patio11 btw I never imagined I would be saying this to you but... I have a rap recommendation for you that I'd kinda like to hear your thoughts on https://t.co/gNNWqcG5nm
